Abstract
This presentation will cover the collaborative NSF program titled international research experiences for students (IRES) which addresses multidisciplinary research at the overlap of sustainability, power systems and machine learning with the aim of improving efficiency and robustness in PV power generation. The IRES program engages faculty and students at the ASU SenSIP Center and at the University of Cyprus’ (UCy) KIOS Center of Excellence. Professor Elias Kyriakides was Co-PI on this NSF program and contributed in a significant manner in establishing the proposal to NSF and defining the research directions of the IRES. He also ran the program in Cyprus in the summer of 2019 and mentored some of the participating ASU students. The program addressed specifically research on fault detection using machine learning algorithms. Some of the IRES results will be presented at this meeting.
Presenter’s bio
Andreas Spanias is Professor in the School of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU). He is also the director of the Sensor Signal and Information Processing (SenSIP) center and the founder of the SenSIP industry consortium (also an NSF I/UCRC site). His research interests are in the areas of adaptive signal processing, speech processing, machine learning and sensor systems. He contributed to more than 300 papers, 10 monographs 11 full patents, and more than 10 provisional patents. He served as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and as General Co-chair of IEEE ICASSP-99. He also served as the IEEE Signal Processing Vice-President for Conferences. Andreas Spanias is co-recipient of the 2002 IEEE Donald G. Fink paper prize award and was elected Fellow of the IEEE in 2003. He served as Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Signal Processing Society in 2004. He was elected recently as Senior Member of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI).
